Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Printed Banners
Installation & Product Care FAQs
Are custom printed banners suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, absolutely! Our custom printed banners are designed for both indoor and outdoor environments. They are an excellent choice for promotional advertising, marketing campaigns, outdoor photo backdrops, and parades. They can even be used on chain link fences in areas that are not excessively windy.
However, we advise against using vinyl banners in extreme weather conditions, especially high winds, as this can lead to tearing. In the event of severe weather, we recommend taking down your banner to prevent damage and prolong its lifespan.
For optimal performance in outdoor settings, specifically explore our range of outdoor vinyl banners, engineered for enhanced durability.
Do you offer different material weights for custom printed banners?
Yes, we offer custom printed banners in two scrim vinyl material weights, both suitable for indoor and outdoor use:
-
13-oz. Scrim Vinyl (Glossy or Matte): This industry-standard vinyl banner material is our most popular choice, ideal for a wide range of applications. It’s excellent for both indoor and outdoor use, particularly in locations where weather conditions are moderate.
-
18-oz. Extra Heavy-Duty Vinyl (Matte): For more demanding outdoor conditions and long-term use, our 18-oz vinyl is a heavier, more durable option. It offers increased resistance to wear and tear, making it perfect for extended outdoor displays.
What distinguishes your 13-oz. and 18-oz. vinyl banner materials?
The primary differences between our 13-oz. and 18-oz. vinyl banner materials lie in their thickness, weight, and durability:
-
13-oz. Vinyl: Lighter and thinner than our 18-oz option, 13-oz vinyl is the industry benchmark for standard vinyl banners. It’s well-suited for typical indoor or outdoor applications.
-
18-oz. Vinyl: Thicker and more robust, 18-oz. vinyl provides superior durability and performance, especially in harsh outdoor environments and with prolonged exposure to the elements. It’s the best choice for long-term installations requiring extra strength and resilience.
What are the maximum print sizes available for these materials?
We accommodate a wide range of size needs with our large-format printing capabilities:
- 13-oz. Vinyl: We offer seamless custom printed banners up to a maximum size of 16’ x 50’.
- 18-oz. Vinyl: For 18-oz. vinyl, seamless banners are available up to 8’ x 50’.
Do you offer double-sided custom printed banners?
Yes, we do! Our double-sided banners are available in three material options, allowing your message to be seen clearly from multiple directions:
- 13-oz. Gloss Vinyl
- 13-oz. Matte Vinyl
- 18-oz. Extra Heavy Duty Vinyl
Double-sided banners are perfect for high-traffic areas where visibility from all angles is important. Learn more about our high-visibility banners here.
What other types of banners do you offer besides vinyl?
In addition to vinyl banners, we offer a diverse selection of banner types to meet various needs, including fabric banners, mesh banners, and retractable banners.
Are your custom printed vinyl banners full color?
Yes, absolutely! All our custom printed vinyl banners are produced in full, vibrant color using UV-resistant inks. This means you can utilize as many colors and images as you wish at no additional cost, while also ensuring your banner is protected against fading from sun exposure, maintaining its visual appeal over time.
What are the most common banner sizes ordered?
Our most frequently ordered banner sizes include:
- 2’x4′
- 3’x5′
- 3’x6′
- 4’x8′
We also provide fully customizable sizes up to 16’ x 50’ to fit larger display requirements, ensuring your message makes a significant impact, regardless of the scale.
Do your banners come in glossy or matte finishes?
- 13-oz. Vinyl: Available in both matte and gloss finishes, providing flexibility for different aesthetic and functional needs.
- 18-oz. Vinyl: Offered exclusively in a matte finish, which is particularly suitable for reducing glare in bright outdoor settings.
For indoor environments, we often recommend matte finishes to minimize glare from indoor lighting. Gloss finishes are ideally suited for outdoor environments where they enhance color vibrancy and boldness.
Can custom printed vinyl banners be recycled?
Yes, custom printed vinyl banners are recyclable, primarily through upcycling. Many organizations and businesses repurpose old vinyl banner material into new products like tote bags and other consumer goods, reducing waste and promoting sustainability. Additionally, many local recycling facilities are equipped to recycle vinyl banners. We recommend contacting your local facility to confirm their specific recycling capabilities before including banners in your recycling.
Do you offer banners with wind slits?
No, we do not recommend or offer wind slits in our banners. Wind slits can compromise the structural integrity of the banner, potentially leading to tearing and reduced lifespan. For locations prone to high winds, we suggest using our mesh banners instead. Mesh banners are designed to allow air to pass through the material, significantly reducing wind resistance without sacrificing durability or visibility.
Learn more about why we advise against adding wind slits to your custom printed banners.
Will pole pockets affect the final size of my banner?
No, adding pole pockets will not change the overall dimensions of your custom printed banner. Pole pockets are available in 2”, 3”, or 4” sizes and are added without altering the banner’s specified size. When designing your banner with pole pockets, ensure that any critical text or images are positioned at least 3 inches from the edge to avoid any overlap or obstruction by the pole pockets.
What are the best ways to hang a banner?
We offer several finishing options to facilitate easy banner hanging, including hems and grommets, and pole pockets. For banners finished with hems and grommets, we highly recommend using ball bungees on all grommets. Ball bungees evenly distribute tension across the banner, resulting in a smooth, wrinkle-free display.
Pole pockets offer another straightforward hanging method. Choosing pole pockets will not change the final size of your banner, and they are available in 2″, 3″, or 4″ sizes to accommodate different pole diameters.
Pole Pocket Size Guide:
- 2″ Pole Pockets – Fits poles up to 3/4″ in diameter.
- 3″ Pole Pockets – Fits poles up to 1 1/4″ in diameter.
- 4″ Pole Pockets – Fits poles up to 1 1/2″ in diameter.
For detailed instructions on how to hang your banner using ball bungees, please visit our how-to-hang-a-banner page or view our tutorial on YouTube.
What is the proper way to store my custom printed vinyl banner?
To maximize the lifespan of your custom printed banner, proper storage is crucial. Roll the banner with the printed side facing outwards to protect the printed graphics. Store it in a cool, dry location, ideally in its original packaging or a protective container. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or excessively hot environments, as prolonged exposure to these conditions can degrade both the material and the print quality over time.
How can color psychology improve my custom banner designs?
Leveraging color psychology in your custom banner design can significantly enhance its effectiveness. Colors can evoke specific emotions and influence viewer behavior. By carefully selecting colors that align with your message and target audience, you can strengthen brand recognition, stimulate desired feelings, and encourage specific actions, such as purchases or event attendance. Learn more about banner color psychology to optimize your banner’s impact.
What are the best practices for cleaning my banner?
To clean your custom printed banner, use lukewarm water mixed with a mild dish soap. Gently wipe the banner surface with a soft cloth or sponge. It’s important to avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the printed image and the banner material. Regular gentle cleaning will help keep your banner looking its best.
What are some key tips for designing an effective banner?
Designing an effective banner starts with a clear understanding of your target audience and the banner’s purpose. Ensure your message is concise and easily understood at a glance. Apply simple design principles like contrast, alignment, and proximity to enhance readability and visual appeal. Choose colors that are eye-catching and fonts that are clear and legible. Incorporate compelling images that support your message. Discover more tips for designing effective banners to create banners that truly capture attention and deliver results.
How can I remove wrinkles from my custom printed vinyl banner?
Upon receiving your custom printed vinyl banner, you might notice creases or wrinkles from being rolled for shipping. To remove these, we recommend two simple methods:
-
Sun Exposure: Unroll your vinyl banner and lay it flat in direct sunlight for a few hours. The warmth from the sun will naturally relax the vinyl, and the wrinkles should disappear.
-
Steaming: Use a clothing steamer with a refillable water tank. Gently apply steam to the wrinkled areas, similar to steaming clothing. The steam will effectively smooth out the wrinkles.
